Step 4. Pat yourself on the back for turning mealtimes into training and enrichment opportunities for you and your pup.

Take every opportunity to train and enrich your pup’s life. Dogs need mental exercise as much as physical, the benefits are a much happier pup with less opportunity to create their own “fun.”

Remote training with Furbo. First practice at home to get your dog accustomed to the “game” then when it’s a reliable response from your dog you can up the challenge using the Furbo voice communication to cue the behavior while you are away from the house .

Instead of punishing to stop a behavior instead REMEMBER REWARD THE BEHAVIOR YOU WANT TO SEE. IT WILL REINFORCE A RELIABLE RESPONSE.

Skyler was barking at the door, when he paused I captured the behavior by adding the
“silence” cue and then engaged the remote treat with Furbo to reward him for compliance.

It’s never too early for training. Get your puppy started off on the right paw. Learn how to avoid training pitfalls. Learn how to promote appropriate behaviors at home from the very start so you can focus more of your time on cuddles and fun as your pups grows up.
